These heavy weapons are known as terrors on the open battlefield. While not especially portable, slowing down even the strongest soldier, they are known for being extremely powerful and capable of relentlessly mowing down countless enemies with one belt of ammo.

The M60, an example of a machine gun

Machine Guns, or MGs, are heavy Primary weapons designed for Spraying or Covering Fire, and are sometimes even advantageous in close-quarters. They have an extremely high round count per magazine (2 100-round magazines). Machine guns also have a high rate of fire, but these weapons suffer from high recoil and low portability. Shooting a Machine Gun results in the mouse sensitivity temporarily lowering, making the weapon harder to aim after a period of time. Despite their lack of mobility, reload speed, and accuracy, many players use them to mow down enemies. They are incredibly lethal in CQB (Close-Quarters Battle) situations, and are easily capable of killing multiple enemies simultaneously. Fast loader magazines are recommended, as 100 rounds are not needed to kill an enemy or two. Machine guns are vital in most Quarantine situations; they are good for keeping The Infected at bay or finishing them off.

All current Machine Guns cannot be fitted with a Scope or Suppressor of any kind, with the exception of a few weapons. However, some Machine Guns are premodded to have a scope attached to it in the Black Market (MK.48 MOD 0 and the MG36 to list a few). The RPKs MOD is currently the only Machine Gun available for GP equipped with a scope. Any Machine Gun can be fitted with a Extended Magazine modification. All Machine Guns are belt fed excluding the RPK, M21E, Ultimax 100 and the MG36 which use drum magazines.
